The power of Edward Burns' films is in the simple reality of his characters and writing. His stories are emotional without being sentimental and his characters are honest without being melodramatic. You don't watch his films to be manipulated or to have a bunch of absurd saccharine nonsense crammed down your throat. You watch it for the crisp moments that tell a story that seems so real you almost wonder why it was made into a movie at all.
But the reality is that even the sad parts of his stories are simply too honest for tears. He wouldn't ruin a good chance for us to connect with his characters by turning…
a vow is a vow. there are no exceptions to the rules.
bottom-tier burns, probably only enjoyable to those who consider themselves fans of his (ie me), but not the haterz! not the worst thing in the world, but arguably the worst thing burns has ever made, and he himself has all but admitted the same. is this rating made through burns-colored-glasses? ABSOLUTELY and i dgaf!!!!! 😂😂😂

Yet another solid Eddie Burns film, though one that is more of a drama than his other romantic comedies. Both he and David Krumholtz give very good performances, with Burns once again being the highlight, as he seems to be the best at delivering his own dialogue. The dramatic moments actually worked really well, while the (albeit few) comedic moments also worked nicely. A nice little film that is carried by the chemistry between its two leads.
Solid film about a guy who goes to NYC to look for his estranged wife and hires a private eye to help him. Burns and Krumholtz are both good and the story feels very real.
